Fez: World 1-1

By: Brandon McCartin (BMcC)

On: February 19th, 2008

Please, enjoy some straight gameplay from the GDC build of Phil Fish and Renaud Bedard’s dimension-bending platformer Fez.

P.S. Though previously from Kokoromi, the company behind Fez is now officially known as Polytron, with a super-sexy new logo and all.

This is utterly mind-blowing.

Well deal with THIS:

Fish es un petite papillon bleu dans un chapeau!
Zaphos

FACT: Butterflies make surprisingly good game designers.
TakaM

Man, this game is gonna be amazing.
The level design process must be very interesting, can’t wait :)
Lega

This looks utterly spectacular. In all ways. Ever. :O
Zeno

Hopefully the dialog gets cleaned up a bit, unless that’s part of some joke I’m not getting.

Other than that, this game looks like pure liquid sex, and I want it bad.
Zaphos

Somthig tells me that the excellent dialog is completely intentional.
Colink

So awesome… Almost as sexy as sexy hiking…
I feel like my brain is gonna explode.

Wow! That’s really cool!

I like how the game makes it clear the stilted dialogue from mister eyepatch is a joke by making all the writing on the tutorial signposts perfectly crisp and punctuated.

It’s very, very cute. <3

I will totally believe a new dimension.

wonderful game mechanics, will be pc only?

I want it so bad it hurts >.<
haowan

Sublime.
M2tias

Not that I wouldn’t love to play this but it’s not just a Cave Story ripoff with a new dimension. It’s a Cave Story and Crush (PSP) ripoff. :D
Even though, doing that with pixel art graphics is unbeliveable.
Lez

Away.
Thats the direction I just got blown.
WOW

SPOILERS!

`Huh. Not bad.`

`*self destructs*`
Quetzocotol

Judging by “press the left or right trigger” this won’t be released on PC. Which means I’m probably not going to be able to play it. GUH.
Turniper

This game has HATS in it.
Nikica

Gorgeus.
Robert

:O

I feel kinda dizzy now

Super Paper Mario Rip-off my ass

looking awesome, but the music is annoying as hell, I hope it was just a placeholder tune…
Fishy Boy

So very awesome! Best level end ever.
Melly

I love the graphics, I love the music, I love the cute senseless dialogue, and I might just love the gameplay (that part I have to try out for myself, y’see ;3)

Fez get! Rainbows!
Stefano

Instead of saying something clever, all I can think of after watching the video is…
GET OUTTA HERE!

Despite of my excitement, I agree to Melly about the gameplay, though. After seeing the rotating world, it’s kindda hard to me to get rid of the depth of each platform, as they tend get stuck in my head.
When all the blocks get flattened in one of the views (making it ok for you to leap through humongous floor diagonal distances), I can somehow still see the how far apart they are and freak out.

So watching the video was pretty liek this:
“-S**T! HE’S GOING TO FALL!”
“-But… how… ? Oh. Ok…”
“-S**T! HE’S GOING TO FALL!”
“-But… how… ? Oh. Ok…”
“-S**T! HE’S GOING TO FALL!”
“-But… how… ? Oh. Ok…”
And so on… :D

Trixels are the future.

Of having sex.

This is incredible, truly incredible!
Hunty

yikes, wonderful concept, but I got horrible vertigo watching that video. This may have to be one of those games I respect from afar. :(

Super Paper Mario with a Fez

also Kokoromi sounds much better than Polytron
BeamSplashX

And Polykokoromitron sounds AMAZING.

Petition for another name change?
Quetzocotol

Cave Story killer.
Zetetic Elench

Another vote for Polykokoromitron.
Tantan

“Another vote for Polykokoromitron.”
I concur.

and DO WANT.
Shih Tzu

So yeah that wow
Z

Golly, I really hope you have all played Crush… I am only excited about this because it looks to be Crush 0.5. And you can pick that up now.
Dusty Spur

im pride.
teknogames

I’m curious as to how difficult building levels is for this game
Zetetic Elench

Fez is cuter than Crush.

Therefore, my allegiance is to Fez.

(I am easily swayed)
OrR

Damn, that’s insane! :)
I haven’t played Crush but it doesn’t do rotating this fast, does it?
Darkmoon

The way the 2D->3D is handled looks to be like how Super Paper Mario *should* have been. Super Paper Mario was fun, but the flip mechanics just seemed… Meh.
